Today we took Abby back to the doctor for her 3rd visit and 2nd cast. They removed the blue & orange mid-thigh cast and put on a new knee-to-toe cast. The doctor is pleased with her progress. He thought he might see a little more bone growth but the healing is going well. She will have this new cast on for 1 more month and then she might get a walking cast next. She picked a lime green cast with glow-in-the-dark stripes!!

| They used a "vacuum" to remove the cast. |
 |
| The machine sucks away most of the fiberglass dust from the cast. |

| Our first glimpse at her leg since October 31st. |

 |
| Her knee. Her knee is a little stiff since she hasn't moved it in a month!! |
 |
| The leg doesn't look too bad. We were a little worried when we saw the ankle but it looked better when the doctor moved it. |
 |
| She made us keep the cast! |

I'm glad to hear the healing is progressing on schedule. I love the lime green color!
